James Finch Marathon 2018

it was a fantastic day that at times I loved and at times I hated! It really was tough both mentally and physically. The heat was intense and couldn't have contrasted more with the temperatures (and snow!) throughout the training period. I finished in 4h 51m.  I managed to see my wife and children just after Tower Bridge at the half way point which was so uplifting, and then again in the final finishing straight. I hope the money raised will help this fantastic charity.  Thank you James for raising a brilliant £2,391.75.

In Memory of my Brother, Matt

It has been a privilege to be able to reach 4600 meters in Peru with such stunning views with an end point of Machu Picchu while raising money in the name of my beloved brother Matt.I’m looking forward to the next trip to raise awareness of skin cancer and to help my brother, Matt to still make a contribution to aid others as he always did when he was with us.

DAVE WORTHINGTON

London to Paris 2016: I enjoyed the ride, although day 2 was very wet and dreary! A great experience to cycle into Paris as a group, with locals cheering. I never thought I would ride along the Champs Elysee to the Arc de Triumph. I will certainly remember the event for a long time, as well as being a lot fitter than when I started training.

STEPHEN MESSIAS

This is not the first time Stephen has run for the CTRT and he has yet again amazed us all by raising a whopping £11,227.00 and rising! His time was pretty impressive too 03:47:07. We cannot thank you enough Stephen.

My experience: 'One of my biggest fears is heights so when I originally thought of doing a skydive for CTRT I was petrified. But the money raised made every second of fear worth it!'
Thank you Chelsey

The CTRT Appeal

The Cancer Treatment and Research Trust set up an appeal to raise funds to build a new Chemotherapy Suite for patients who visit the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre. The new Chemotherapy Suite was opened in 2010 by Sir Terry Wogan. It is a bright airy place for patients to come and receive their treatments. There is also a lovely outside space provided for patients and their friends and families if they wish to use it.

MARY'S BOYS

In June 2013 we completed a cycle ride from London to Brussels. We hugely appreciate all donations for a fantastic cause that is close to all of our hearts. Marys Boys are named after Mary Carter (Lee's Mum) who sadly lost her battle with cancer in June 2012. Mary was an inspiration to us all, was always full of the joys of life and will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her.

London to Paris bike ride: "It was an amazing achievement on my behalf I got off my bike at the end of the trip aching and very sore but also very proud of myself knowing that I'd completed the gruesome 4 day cycle in all weather conditions up and down hill. "

Rev Joan Foster Abseils for CTRT

"I only managed to have courage on the actual day so could just be sponsored retrospectively, but when people heard it was for the CTRT at Mount Vernon they responded well."  Joan's abseil opportunity was part of St Alban, North Harrow's Summer Fair which was advertised widely.

Frances Mould

Completed the London Marathon this year and raised an amazing £2797.64 to date. Back in 2001 I was told I had cancer, as you can imagine it came as quite a shock. Without the fantastic care of Professor Rustin and his team at Hillingdon and Queen Charlotte and Chelsea Hospitals I don't think I would be here today. Click on this link for full story.
